So, here we are again, diving into the world of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Honestly, it’s like a soap opera with less drama but more touchdowns. These guys came off a pretty solid season, right? Won 10 games and grabbed an NFC South title like it’s some kind of shiny but elusive coin—did it four times in a row, mind you. But hey, who doesn’t want more? They’re kinda poking around to figure out how to become the “big deals,” like the Super Bowl-type big deals.
Let’s talk about Chris Godwin. He’s back—woohoo! Secure on a spanking new contract and hopefully stronger after that nasty ankle thing last season that felt like stepping on a LEGO, but worse. And then there’s Mike Evans. Still running those routes but, ain’t getting younger. Man’s gonna be 32 when the 2025 season rolls around. Makes ya wonder if it’s time to inject some young blood into the mix.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Someone named Matthew Golden, no relation to the Midas touch as far as I know, visited these Bucs. Ian Rapoport spilled the beans. Golden’s got some swagger—58 catches, almost a thousand yards, and nine touchdowns at Texas. Oh, and those special team skills? Totaled over 700 kick return yards and, count ’em, two touchdowns. Zoom, zoom, Mr. Golden—his 40-yard dash speed: 4.29 seconds! Flash superhero stuff right there, although he’s no giant at 5’11”, 191 pounds, but hey, ask Mighty Mouse.
The draft’s the next big thing. Picture it, Tampa Bay sitting pretty with pick No. 19. So many routes to go—consider the equality (not in the social sense, but hey, equal potential?) of this year’s draft, who knows? Could bag a future Pro Bowler.
Oh, and just casually mentioning, they’ve scooped up Bucky Irving, running back extraordinaire, and snatched Haason Reddick, a two-time Pro Bowler, onto their defensive squad during free agency. Lots of shaking up happening.
And because I’m all about the teasers and trivia—what’s next on the playlist? Something about QB Kyle Trask making a big announcement. Probably not related to stock market tips but a person can dream.
